The Power of Clarity: Choosing Your Most Important Thing.
Sometimes our brain tricks us into treating the most important thing in our lives as if it’s the least. Why? Because that important thing often makes us feel vulnerable. It challenges us to create a new self-concept. A new self-concept requires growth. And growth requires discomfort and change, two things our brain works hard to avoid.
This “most important thing” varies from person to person. It could mean starting a family. Or finally prioritizing your health by quitting drinking, or taking steps to manage a diagnosis like diabetes. It might mean pursuing a new career after decades in the same role. Or moving to a new state or country. Perhaps it’s creating financial stability after years of just scraping by. Or taking that three-month sabbatical you’ve been dreaming about, or writing that book that’s been sitting on your heart forever.
Whatever your “thing” is, it will challenge you to step into a new way of being. It will likely ask you to stop attaching your self-worth to the outcome so you can honestly discern: Am I doing this as a placeholder for self-esteem, seeking fleeting external validation? Or is this coming from within—a genuine desire to create for the sheer joy of creation, regardless of the results?
If you feel a lot of pressure or anxiety tied to this, it might indicate the former. In that case, doing the inner work—perhaps with the guidance of a coach—can help you release the belief that this must happen for you to feel loved, worthy, or safe. Instead, you can embrace the truth that you are already whole and complete, no matter what. From this place of wholeness, you can take inspired actions and create meaningful results.
The question is: are you willing to do it?
It’s go time.
I Affirm: Today I am willing to look at my life and ask: Am I treating the most important thing as if it’s the least? If I see that I am, I commit to taking action and honoring what matters most to me.
Step By Step,
